Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi is distinguished by its rather plump, flattened inflorescence from which flowers with small petals emerge. This plant in my garden flowers almost continuously, and as older flowers fade, new flowers appear. Primary hybrids made with this species have been used to improve and give color to other generations of hybrids.
The most common color is yellowish green, and its markings are some variation of reddish brown or cinnamon colored bars, spots and blotches over all segments. The lip is white or near-white with parallel, reddish brown or cinnamon colored stripes on the lateral lobes and base of the column.
